Motorcycle Daily ran this post recently that hints at Bimota using Moto Morini engines for future bikes.
I'm a big fan of Moto Morini (related), so the notion of these companies working together would be a welcomed change of pace for the industry. Bimota's chassis-design skill could bring to life a bike reminiscent of John Britten's masterpiece & Aprilia's FV2 concept....

They could combine the powerful Morini 1200cc, 87-degree twin with a Hossack-derived front-end & a minimal trellis section frame, connected at the center of the engine. Note the center engine-mount below.
Imagine the Morini engine in the Aprilia concept (above left & right). A minimal frame would suffice due to the alternative front suspension and this frame wouldn't conceal the handsome engine....
(shape of body panels & colors of the Aprilia are easily changed)
